I think I'm up to the task.

Prepared to work at it.

Yeah.

So, yeah, that's cool.

I wanted to talk a little bit about an executive order that our beloved president put out very recently.

Some of you may be aware of this, but on December 11th, I mean this year, 2025, Trump released yet another executive order, this one titled Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence.

And basically in this and in Trump stated that, like, the reason he's doing this is because it's absolutely critical to the US's future that we be at the top of the game when it comes to AI, that we be global leaders in this burgeoning new field.

He states in the EO, these efforts have already delivered tremendous benefits to the American people and led to trillions of dollars of investments across the country.

Certainly haven't.

But we remain in the earliest days of the technological revolution and in a race with adversaries for supremacy within it.

Trump stated in an interview that he expects AI to be 50 to 60 percent of the U.S.

economy in the near future, which is nuts.

Maybe that's just because everything else will just go to complete shit, you know?

The reality is that like AI is not even close to being that value in terms of like what the economy produces.

But nearly all of our growth is related and like is tied right now to data center investment.

So Trump absolutely needs AI because without it, the country is very obviously in a recession.

This is the only thing propping up the image of the economy as not being in the shitter.

Now, what does this EO actually do?

Well, the goal of this, the statement is that it is the policy of the United States to sustain and enhance the United States' global AI dominance through a minimally burdensome national policy framework for AI.

This EO will establish an AI litigation task force within 30 days of this order going out.
